New Toy and Composition

I got a portable record studio gadget (Tascam DP-006) for Christmas, so I recorded a short song using an old analog synth (Roland SH-101), then asked my son William to lay down some guitar. I didn’t want to write lyrics, so I taped Jennifer Saul, Megan Saul and Jen’s mother chatting away (totally random and unexpected) while she was visiting us during the Christmas vacation.

I call the song: 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗢𝘁𝘁𝗮𝘄𝗮 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 for two reasons: First: Megan states it in the song, and Second: Jen’s mom is from Ottawa. I thought it was a “good fit”. For those that want to brave hearing it, just click on media link below…

Great little digital recorder (6 track) that runs on batteries and has two built-in microphones and 2 1/4 inch jack inputs for recording song concepts and then can be transferred to computer for post production. Easy to use and quite well designed…

Picture of the analog Roland synth. I was playing with dials and sliders. I had a lot of fun 🙂
